A member asked:
Syphilis question. at home igg antibody test, accuracy? negative test results well past 5 months. have weird symptoms of buzzing in ears and eye floaters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both false positive and false negative tests have been noted. False negatives especially may occur if taken too early after exposure or late in the infection. Your symptoms don't suggest tertiary syphilis to me. If you still have concerns, consult a specialist in STDs or infectious diseases.
